Weighted Blankets
Are Minky Couture blankets actually weighted?
No. Minky Couture blankets do not contain glass beads, plastic pellets, or internal weights. They are designed as a weighted blanket alternative, providing a soothing, weight-like feel through fabric density, size, and drape rather than added weight.
How do these compare to other weighted blankets?
Many weighted blankets rely on evenly distributed beads to reach a “perfect weight” based on body weight. Minky Couture blankets create even pressure without added weight, making them easier to move, quieter, and more comfortable for longer periods, especially for people who dislike the firmness of traditional weighted designs.
Are these good for sleep, anxiety, or restless leg syndrome?
People who use weighted blankets often report falling asleep more easily and improved sleep quality due to the calming feel. While not a medical product, the gentle deep pressure sensation may help with anxiety and general sleep discomfort.
Do Minky Couture blankets cover the entire bed?
Yes. Larger sizes can comfortably cover an entire bed, including queen mattresses and king-size options. Oversized styles like Monster, Grande, and the Biggest Hugs provide maximum coverage and cocoon-like comfort.
How do I wash and care for the blanket?
Minky Couture blankets are machine washable, unlike many weighted blankets that require hand washing only. Use cold water on a gentle setting, tumble dry on a low setting, or air-dry or line-dry for best results. Always follow the washing instructions on the label.
